11 Good Reasons for Using Travel Insurance

We’d all rather not think about all of the things that might go wrong on a trip, but making sure your family and your gear are protected in the worst case scenario is simple sense.

When we travel we take a step into the unknown. There are lots of uncertainties, which is why travelling is such an adventure! But it’s important to have an insurance policy in place which covers the potentially very high costs of healthcare abroad for you and your family.

An insurance policy will also cover the vast array of tech we carry when we travel these days. Phones, cameras, laptops, tablets are expensive to replace if lost, stolen or damaged.

When we travelled to SouthEast Asia one of the adults in our party was unfortunate enough to get a severe case of Dengue Fever and spent a week in hospital in intensive care as a result. Thanks to his travel insurance policy he was able to obtain the excellent treatment which potentially saved his life, as well as being compensated for the knock on effect this had on accommodation and flights. Also his family were able to stay on in a nearby hotel so they could spend time with him daily.

It costs a fraction of your total trip and gives you peace of mind knowing your family are protected

I recommend World Nomads because I’ve used them and think they offer a great product at a reasonable price, which is why I now affiliate with them. I have read many very positive reviews of their service and cover. Also because they are widely recommended amongst the travel blogger community and by people I respect and whose opinions I trust. They are specialists in worldwide travel and offer cover for a wide range of activities. As they state themselves, their insurance has been designed by travellers for travellers, to cover your trip essentials.
